KU to celebrate black history
By ANNE FITZGERALD Staff Reporter
KU's top jazz ensemble and choir, under the direction of Ron McCurdy, will open the celebration of Black History Month at the University of Kansas with a concert at 8 p.m. A party Room of the Satellite Union
"I'm just happy to be a part of it," said McCurdy, KU band instructor. "It's good that we can recognize people who have made outstanding contributions and pay special tribute to them."
Other festivities marking the month of tribute to black leaders will include gospel music, nationally known speakers and traditional African dinners.
VERNELL, SPEARMAN, acting director of the office of minority affairs, said 1983 was the 57th year for the national celebration. The theme this year is "The United States Constitution and the Black American."
Here is a summary of this month's activities:
- Dorothy Pennington, associate professor of African studies, will present "The Histories and Cultural Roles of Black Churches in Lawrence" at 2 p.m. Saturday at Walkins Community Museum.
"It is not an intellectual discussion
designed for scholars," Pennington said. "It is really designed to encourage people to come and participate in discussion."
Pennington researched nine churches, some dating from the 19th century, because of her interest in the work of churches to the black community.
- The department of African studies and the Kansas Committee of Humanities, which awarded Pennington a grant to work last summer, are organizing her.
- A soul food dinner, sponsored by the office of minority affairs and Ellsworth Hall, will be Feb. 26 at Ellsworth.
- African night will feature a banquet of traditional African food and a talk by Zaleema Bond Harris, president of Pioneer College in Kansas City, Mo.
- Bond received her Ph.D. from KU and is the former director of the supportive education center here. The event will start at 2 p.m. Feb. 27 at the Lawrence Community Building and admission will be charged.
- Tony Brown, a Washington, D.C. television personality, writer and educator, will give a speech at b.p.g. Feb. 9 in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union, sponsored by the office of minor affairs and Student Union offices.

Police halt new threat to the pope
MILAN, Italy — Italian authorities arrested a Turkish citizen on charges that he was plotting to assassinate Pope John Paul II during a scheduled papal visit to Milan in May, police said yesterday.
Police identified the Turk as Mustafa Savak. They would give no details of the arrest or the alleged assassination plot.
State-run radio said, however, that Savak had been arrested at Rho, near Milan, after an informant told police that a police officer had attempted to organize the assassination attempt.
The Vatican had announced last month that the pope would travel to Milan in May, as part of his continuing travels to all parts of Italy.
ITALIAN POLICE are also holding two Turks and a Bulgarian on charges that they conspired with the Vatican to release the pope at the Vatican on May 13, 1981.
Agca, 24, was convicted in Rome in July 1981 and sentenced to life in prison for shooting the pope.
News reports in Italy, some of which have been confirmed by Italian authorities, have said Agca was part of an elaborate international plot involving the Bulgarian secret police and Soviet KGB to kill the pope.
The Soviet Union has repeatedly denied the charge, calling the reports "absurd inventions" with "all the attributes of a cheap detective story."
Consumer affairs office offers help to students
The walls of the Consumer Affairs Association branch office at the Kansas Union are covered with racks filled with information about tools from buying a used car to cocktails and potential hazards of light laser shows.
Consumer consultants working in the office can answer questions and tell students how to handle problems with local businesses, Clyde Chapman director of the Consumer Affairs department at 615 Vermont St., said last weekend.
"I don't think that the students are aware that we are here," he said. "We serve a broad range of needs. If there's something you need to know about concerning things you buy or have information on it."
The Union Office has access to the business files of the downtown office, Chapman said.
Brett Turner, consumer consultant at the Union office, said he primarily heard landlord-tenant complaints in a mail-order merchant problem.
"If a student has a question about a local business, he can come in and we can tell him if there has been a complaint lodged about the issue," he said. "We can also tell him what business responded to the complaint."
MOST STUDENTS who come in pick up information on establishing credit or energy conservation, Turner said.
